The Pope never said excorcism was this easy.
Then again, I guess I never read that manual the religion puts out.
So, Craig's gone. I think. You see, he hasn't really been here for the past week or so. Kim mentioned he was the "house ghost", hardly ever seen, not heard, but bam - when you turn around: EWOK IN YOUR FACE, BAYBEE!! Anyway, turns out he had a place to move to lined up for awhile, now, and hell, his mother even surprised me by popping out of the bathroom. She lives in fricking Leezeeanna, and here she is making with the "Hi, you're out of toiler paper now!" right in front of me.
I guess that's what I get for thinking *I* was the sneaky asshole.
Anyway, so he's gone now. I suppose it's been like two or three hours. No ceremony or anything. What really irks me is that apparently Scott was in zee know about this, or so said ... uh. Someone. Kim or Craig. Stupid me, can't remember which now. I actually talked to Craig before he vanished into the steamy Kansas City night, he was pretty off-handed about the whole thing - "Here's Rob's (some MND card), I borrowed it awhile ago. Oops." and that was that. Least he paid the phone bill and whatnot.
Er, about Scott knowing. Pardon my really fragmented thoughts, here, things regarding this seem a touch unreal. What really bugs me is that I know for a fact Craig walked out of here painting himself the martyr and victim. He's still talking to Scott, no doubt, which pretty well defines why Scott is so up in arms about us (that would be, the people at the house here that aren't Craig) being assholes and intolerant and whatnot. Guess what - if all I had were Craig's ignorant and inexcusably biased accounts to go on, I'm pretty sure I'd think I was an asshole, too. Craig's pretty good at completely misunderstanding how things work between people, which is just plain horrible. I don't know why it is, but he's consistently unable to really understand people's motivations or emotions. The point being - I'm pretty sure Craig got it in his head that he's practically blameless for everyone being pissed at him, and decided Scott's his only friend in the world. I pretty well hate ignorance of that caliber, especially when I've spent longer than the past year patiently trying to be there for the boy as he's attempted to find his bearings in the world. What do I get for it? When he feels he's justified, he just tosses it out the window so he can imagine himself some sort of tragic hero. Hi, I tried to be your friend you little furry ass, and I sure as fuck don't appreciate being tossed out the window.
Yes, I sound like some sort of jilted girlfriend, but jesus fucking christ. Even when I was angry at him, I got over it and stuck with him. I suppose I'm just pissed at myself for banging my head into the wall so much. Eh, fuck it He's gone, and he's decided to stick with being an ass. I just hate giving up on people, and I hate being left behind due to ignorance and pride. Thanks, Craig, for hitting be double-barrelled like that.
Anjin-san off.
